An unexpected upgrade occurred on Win 8.1, which has resulted in problems with several applications, and seem to be related to the Search function.
My drive L is an unused USB drive, but it has become registered in particular with the search operation in the registry. However, even editing the entry through Command Prompt Administrator, the change is not allowed.
The particular entry is:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager\DefaultApplicationPath
Value Data L:Search\Data\Applications\
I am trying to correct this to %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\
I hope I am correct in posting in this section, and that someone knowledgeable on the registry my advise me further.
Thanks
Eric
